A dusty piece of tin plate, one side of which bore the legend, “Tompkins Avenue!” Carol Marston, the young lawyer, looked at it idly. It was lying in a dry ditch beside the roadway, on the | outskirts of the town. Some prowling dog had probably unearthed it from | the six inches of 'sofl in which it had lain for years. The discovery seemed mot of the smallest importance. Marston had long since dismissed it from his mind when he had a call from Pretty Elsie Vincent. “8it down, Miss Vincent,” he said, offering her a chair. He knew her by | sight, although they had never spoken to each other. you?” “I want to bring a suit against the Richards company,” answered Miss Vincent. “They engaged me by the month as telephone operator in their | new apartment house at New avenue | and Seventh street, and dismissed me on the seventh with a week's pay be-| cause they are cutting out the serv- ice.” “Well, you seem to have a clear case, Miss Vincent,” said the young lawyer, after he had learned some fur- ther particulars. The flagrant mean- ness of the action stung him. Old Sol Richards had the reputation of being the meanest man in town; but this was worse than anything he had done, for Lewis Vincent had started him in business, twenty years before. Lewis Vincent had died when Elsie was a baby. He had once been wealthy, but had backed a note for Richards, | had to go to meet it, The man “What D'You Mean?” was no legal claim on him. “And I just mean to get this forty- five dollars out of the old skinflint,” said Elsie to Carol Marston. “Just to show him what I think of him. Now, why is it, if I have a clear case, no other lawyer will take it?” \ “You have tried?’ inquired Carol. “Yes,” the girl admitted. “You see, | Mr. Marston—" here she blushed pret- tily—"you seemed so young.” Carol smiled rather grimly. “I guess | they are all afraid of Richards,” he said. “That's why. He is a man of considerable influence, you know. But | I will take your case—and win fit, too.” “And I have a lot at the corner of Tompkins avenue and Seventh street,” the girl confided, “so I can pay you by \ selling that. It is all father had to leave me, and it {sn't worth more than | & couple of hundred dollars, because the town didn’t grow the way he | thought it would, but—" Well, being a practical lawyer, Carol did not refuse her offer and assure her | that he would take her case for noth- ing, even though he was conscious of | certain flutterings in the region of the | X heart when he looked at her across his | table. And so the case was filed. Richards had two reputations. One was that of being the meanest man in “What can I do for I | clear parts of | the Wide World ! strands of the | ery town; the other of being the most vin- dictive. Carol expected to receive a visit from him, and he was not dIsa[y-I‘ pointed. Three days later Richards' came stamping into his ciice. “What's this I hear about your filing | [ a claim against me on behalf of that | Vincent woman?” he roared. “I don't know what you have heard, Mr. Richards, but it is true,” answered Carol “Do you know I can ruin you, young man?”’ cried the infuriated old man. “Say, are you plumb crazy?”’ | “Can’t say,” answered Carol imper- | turbably, “but that claim is going to be met.” “We'll see,” grunted Richards, and stamped out again That was the beginning of the trou- ble. One by one Carol's clients dropped away from him. The case for Richards paid; and thenceforward Carol was de- prived even of the solace of Miss El- sie's occasional visits. The young man it seemed that | highly colored, gaudy-looking spiders, with bodies that loc s If they were about to explode, they are so blown THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA, JULY 10, 1914, Richards would make good his threaL And then one night, while he was turning over the situation in his mind, there flashed across it the remem- | brance of that old tin plate. It was a flash from the subconscious, | land for a long time Carol Marston | could not imagine why the thought 014 it recurred so incessantly. And then, suddenly, a dim remembrance came to | him which made him start up with a cry of joy. The next morning he paid a visit to the town hall and spent the whole forenoon burrowing among old maps and charts of the village. Although it was an ancient ¢ ttlement, the popu- lation, as with many small towns ad- joining cities, was largely a floating one, and hardly anyone in the placel had lived there more than a few years. Hence the surprise of the discov(‘ry‘ was somewhat mitigated; neverthe- less, it assumed enough importance to inspire the young man to write an urgent letter to Richards, inviting him| to come to his office. Teanwhile he had had a talk \\nh which made the young woman's' eves sparkle with gladness. And, em-, boldensd by the very kind look that she bestowed upon him, Carol Marston Ve red to make a singular request of her which, while it threw her into cenfusion, did not produce any decided rebuff When Richards stamped into the lawyer's office, anticipating a plea for merey, b was censiderably astonished to see Miss Vincent there, and Marston geated at his desk and bearing no traces of spiritual humility. “Well, young man, so you've come round, e¢h?” growled Richards. ‘Sit down,” said Carol. “Mr. Rich- ards, when you attempted to deprive | Miss Vincent of three weeks' salary I did not realize that you were actually in possession of stolen property of hers.” o “What d'you mean?" growled Rich- ards, turning pale, nevertheless. “The records of cur town were de- stroyed by fire fifteen years ago,” Marston went on: “but fortunately certain deeds were saved—among them that to your apartment house at the corner of New Avenue and Seventh street.” “This is a conspiracy!” ards, rising. “Misgs Vineent,” continued the young man, ‘‘pos 5 one of those deeds. giving her gsion of a vacant lot at Seventh street and Tompking ave- nue.” Heo rose and, shaking his finger with that dramatic air that was well known in the courts afterward, centinued: “You infernal scoundrel, Tompking avenue used to run where New ave- nue runs today, and Miss Vincent's lot ig that on which your apartinent house now stands!"” Five minutes later Richards got up from the flco id wiped his knees, which were vory Y “I'll send that check for ninety thou- sand as soon as I con fix the mortgage, Mr. ston,” he whimpered. “And you'll let it go at that?” velled Rich: mew‘ms,.:.@tgfimwnw,@@&r > 'Loans, Investments in Real Es'ate tsell for cash, “Yes lmll(h «d Flsie, and Marston said “yes" obediently.

DO REALLY WONDERFUL WORK Spiders in Paraguay Spin Webs That Might Almost Be Referred to as Cables. fence The roads of Paraguay are about five yards wide throughout, and the trees meet overhead at a height of gome 18 feet, thus forming a tunnel of very uniform dimensions. In the this tunnel, that is, where it is not choked up with the glant nettle—it is full, from roof to ground, of enormous spiders’ webs, | stretching clear across the road, the big trees usually being chosen as anchorages and the total clear span being thus more like eight yards than five.
